Rilo Kiley "Under the Blacklight"

You'd think this was posted in the mod cave. No one else has anything to say about this album? I mean, it has to be one of the largest impacts in the indie world.
 
I listened to it and I honestly don't see what has you so riled up. It's fun, unpretentious pop music. The only song that genuinely sucks is The moneymaker. Lewis has a great voice and sings really well. It's not a memorable album, but have they ever made one?
 
I think this is possibly the best album I have heard from this band. The riRAB are roughly the same, but the lyrics are so poetic, its just mesmerizing listening to this CD.
 
That maybe true now but it wasn't in the 80s.



No, its easily their worst and just become something is successful doesn't mean its the best going by the logic you've been using Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera are two of the greatest artists ever, theres a big difference between a fun album and a good album.

But yeah, she is uber sexy...vocally at least.

Yes it was. They never had "major" commercial success, at least not in the realm of other, mainstream pop artists of the decade, such as Madonna, Michael Jackson and the likes...I'm pretty sure...


Is there? I'd say Christina and Britney are easily among the greatest POP artists of all time. They didn't achieve the success they've had by performing crap music. Even if elitists like yourself can't see it.
 
Eh, 15 is one of the worse songs. Dejalo being the worst.

I'm a Rilo Kiley fan. Not a fan of this album.

I can't say it's a bad album. It's just extremely disappointing.
 
Terribly generic album, overproduced, dull and the lyrics are far from poetic, they're some of the worst they've ever written. Blake doesn't even sound like the same guy on Dreamworld.
 
Yeah, maybe... its the only song i skip through to listen to... purely for the singalong chorus and a theme i can.... *ahem* almost relate to
 
Well, it appears that I am in the minority here, but I had heard only two of their previous efforts, and enjoyed pieces of both, but I really enjoyed this one all the way through. I don't know if it is because I was raised on polished, sensible Pop music, but I enjoy the influences of Fleetwood Mac that can be found on this record.

Just because something has high production values, does NOT make it crap.
